Introducing baby Galyen!
We watched him/her on the screen for over 30 minutes today. Absolutely delightful! He was moving his left arm a little and twitching his head quite a bit. I wish I could have watched it for hours. The umbilical chord and spinal chord were incredibly visible. Nick saw the heart racing away and asked the ultrasound tech if that was the baby's eye blinking. She really got a kick out of that!
So, we left the ultrasound with the gender of the baby concealed in a double envelope. That envelope felt like a hot-potato. So hard to hold it in our hands and not know what it said inside!!! As of tonight, it is exactly one week before we will learn, with our parents and siblings, whether we're having a boy or girl. My sweet friend Laura McAnly is making a from-scratch chocolate cake with chocolate ganache icing - with either a pink or blue layer or icing in the middle. Oh......the wait......
